My DM has always been the weakest part of my game, and I'm trying really hard to improve it. However I've gotten frustrated with the types of people I tend to meet in the DM servers and MGE, to the point where it's just not fun to play those game modes, and I just don't feel like I get anything out of those sessions. So I'm looking for people who also want to improve their DM, but are not shitlords who:
-shoot me in the back in DM, but run away to grab a health pack as soon as I try to fight you
-Spam from crates or a mile away as demo or soldier while I'm trying to fight other people (seriously, how do you get better from shooting people that don't know you're even there... play against bots or something)
-Counter jump and other common MGE gripes
-Try to "win" DM by having a stellar K:D
-Play MGE just for the sake of playing MGE
*Note: not all people who do those things are necessarily shitlords. I recognize that plenty of people legitimately enjoy MGE just for the sake of MGE.
If you want someone to play bball with, or MGE with, and you honestly want to improve your DM ability, please add me and hopefully I can actually start getting good at this game. Also, I'm mainly interested in improving my soldier DM, but I also enjoy scout, so I'd be willing to work on that occasionally as well (plus, hitscan aim is hitscan aim, and the shotgun is my favorite weapon).

Just turn off chat and voice in mge and don't counterjump / or use any specific strats no matter what the other person is doing. You'll lose a lot and you'll feel cheated / frustrated, but eventually you'll get to the point where nothing "gay" works against you cause you'll hit every shot anyways. I can't really say the same for dm because I feel like it's more useful for scouts than soldiers so I haven't played it as much.
Add me up, I'm on literally always and I can play against you in mge if you need someone, though to be honest I feel like games which require more precise and accurate mouse control like CS helped my dm more than my many hours of mge.
Either way, best of luck! I mged you today I think and in my opinion your rocket aim was really good already.

Yeah, that's all good advice. I never really use strats anyways, but I'm not at the point where I can just hit shots to deny them from playing like shitlords, and I get frustrated too easily to improve enough to get to that point. And yeah, that was me in MGE with you today, and thanks. I added you.

i have been mgeing for like an hour a day recently in desperation to try to get on a highlander team
add me (playing on an alt, dumb story)
/id/saber_idiot
i think i have ok dm but i will literally play you for hours in ammomod/ammomod mge because that's the least horrifically gay arena
will guarantee that i don't taunt people

Can someone please clarify what counter jumping is to me? I'm sort of confused on what it is because of all the conflicting definitions I have gotten.

Hey vanilla, I'm trying you out at the moment. I'm thinking of starting a DM/MGE group, just trying to figure out more of the logistics of how to gather everyone at the right time. I'm always up for it too, if I'm free. :)

When you jump after the opponent has jumped so you have a higher ground than he/she. Gran mid, for example, it's pretty easy to do this.

Hmmm but what if you jump up after them because you don't want to stay on the lower ground?

I agree with shootist. At least I try to distance myself from any competitive aspects of MGE and just use it as purely a training mode. I treat it like I'm playing against bots.

I like to turn off the score HUD and unbind tab when playing DM or MGE so I'm not tempted to check my scores nonstop

I don't care about the score or anything like that. I just get a feeling of futility when there's nothing i can do about people playing to win rather than playing to get better.

Yeah I used to MGE fairly often but it got to the point where it annoyed me too much to play with randoms since I felt I wasn't getting anything out of it besides running around arenas trying to get people to actually fight.

I went through a period before I actually started playing pugs where I was in the idiotic mindset that MGE == DM skill. Played a solid 600 of my hours in TF2 in MGE, mostly spire. True, I'm one of the gayest MGE faggots you'll ever play in it, but if you want to, hit me up and I'll do my best to not do so.

If you want to play against a scout, I'm down. I'm sick of passive players/nerds who kill me while I'm responding to their rage.

This guy will make you cry and bleed, but you will be forced to get better. Also, hit me up sometimes, I have the same problems with MGE/DM c:

When people say don't coutnerjump, this only really applies to pockets. Roamers should almost always counterjump.

vanilla-shoot me in the back in DM, but run away to grab a health pack as soon as I try to fight you
-Spam from crates or a mile away as demo or soldier while I'm trying to fight other people (seriously, how do you get better from shooting people that don't know you're even there... play against bots or something)
-Counter jump and other common MGE gripes
-Try to "win" DM by having a stellar K:D
-Play MGE just for the sake of playing MGE
Instead of calling out a whole bunch of players for their "cheapness", why don't you seek alternative methods of dealing with your problems? Play DM and MGE to improve, and if you get beat - they outplayed you. Keep playing and you'll get better. Also, with all due respect, what exactly are you supposed to do in DM if you're not supposed to try to win? Winning only means you killed more players, which is the point of DM.
Not trying to be mean, but there are so many people who would rather sit back and make every excuse in the book than genuinely improve themselves. This applies to everything in life.

idk man just shoot the people
i prefer playing european DM to american because i find the average skill level to be better there, and the handicap of the ping disadvantage aids me in improving.
then again i also run the candy cane on purpose so maybe im completely mad

That's the same argument as people who think that MGE/DM is a good way of telling how good someone is. If it really was, I would be invite purely because I've played enough that I could out-gay most people. It's a good tool, but too many people use it the wrong way, jumping straight up whenever someone jumps you works in MGE, but not in a game.
